Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the debate on personalism that took place after the Second World War between Polish Catholic intellectuals. Being focused on the historical rather than theological perspective of the issue, the paper deals with three groups of Catholic intelligentsia that were involved in the public discussions on the personalist concept: the Krakow group that published the weekly Tygodnik Powszechny, the community of intellectuals gathered around the charismatic figure Bolesław Piasecki, and the group WIĘŹ that was organised by Tadeusz Mazowiecki (later the first non-communist prime-minister of Poland) after the great social movement of the ‘Polish October’.
